As adults, we are responsible for resolving the traumas that have happened to us, to pick up the pieces and put ourselves back together, not because we are to blame for our experiences, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is, there is no doubt about that. On the flipside it can also be empowering- you are the catalyst for personal change, you can always take a turn or step in a different direction, you can always act differently, feel differently, and (with the right tools and assistance) start the healing process. I am here to help you with this noble, and sometimes difficult work. As a mental health professional, I am passionate about helping others feel more whole, hopeful and effective by developing deeper self-knowledge, self-respect, compassion, resilience and further developing our coping skills to take on the challenged life throws your way. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief to assist clients in reducing distressing thoughts and emotions. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I collaborate with my clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to their symptoms. Through a combination of cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation techniques, and mindfulness practices, I help my clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and increase resilience in the face of life's challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I have a Master's in Social Work (MSW) from Barry University. For the past seven years, I have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, and communities enhance their well-being and overall functioning. As a social worker, I hold a firm belief that every person has a unique and valuable story. Each individual's life is like a book, filled with a series of chapters that encompass a wide range of experiences, emotions, and challenges. Sometimes, people get stuck on a particular page or in a specific chapter of their story, feeling unable to move forward. This can happen due to various reasons, such as trauma, loss, mental health struggles, or significant life changes. It's normal to face difficulties at specific points in life. Feeling stuck might manifest as being overwhelmed, experiencing depression or anxiety, encountering repeated obstacles in relationships or careers, or simply feeling unfulfilled. Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward seeking help and making positive changes. My role as a social worker is to help you identify the specific issues causing you to feel stuck. Through empathetic listening and comprehensive assessment, we can pinpoint the root causes of your difficulties, whether they stem from past experiences, current stressors, or underlying mental health conditions. Once we understand the issues, we can work together to develop a range of skills and tools to help you manage these situations.

I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength. You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. My work over the years dealing with all these issues and more have met with tremendous success. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed. This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.

Are you experiencing stress, worry, racing thoughts, impaired sleep, feeling on edge, heart racing, nightmares, or/and flashbacks? Do you replay moments in your head and feel hopeless?

Let me help you on this journey! Imagine yourself empowered, as we find recurring themes and self-defeating patterns. You will discover ways to overcome sadness, fear and other emotional obstacles.

I can work with you to develop healthy coping skills and gain insight. I love to help others feel at peace and whole again. If there is one thing that I would like for you to know is that the most crucial part of therapy is to find a therapist that you trust. My priority is to create a genuine connection with my clients by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them.

Different clients require different methods. I am open, honest, empathetic and non-judgmental, but also tell it like it is.

I specialize in life challenges that trigger stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, and PTSD. Stress, pain, fear, and confusion are alarm clocks that beg to be heard and answered. Therapy is one way to turn down the noise and listen to our inner voice.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor holding a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Doctorate of Ministry in Biblical Counseling, I am dedicated to supporting my clients through life’s challenges to focus on the possibilities ahead.

I truly believe that a life of eudaemonia is attainable to all. Eudaemonia is a noun of Greek origin that translates into ‘human flourishing’, ‘a contented state of being happy, healthy and prosperous.’ During the past 19 years of providing counseling services to children, adolescents, young adults, adults, professionals and families, in individual, couple, family or group settings, I have encountered individuals who wanted to stop feeling their negative symptom, whether internal (thought, feeling, sensation), or external (behavior, verbal and otherwise). With me, you will learn to cope with your uncomfortable private experiences, you will learn the purpose of your behavior and you will learn to self-manage as well as relationship manage. Together, if you want, we can make you thrive in all areas of your life, including your relationships. If the problem in your relationship is about power and control (abuse of the mental, emotional, or physical types), couple therapy may not be adequate, appropriate or even safe for you. Please take safety measures if you are at risk. The national domestic violence helpline number is 800-799-7233. In a couple, it is rare that both people suggest couple therapy as a solution to their relational problems. Don't worry, you are not the only one. Relationships are complex and can be said to have multiple components that would need to be addressed. Let us say that a couple rests on three pillars: communication, intimacy (emotional closeness), and sex. You say, well what about respect, trust, boundaries, etcetera. They can all fit under one of these categories, trust me, and in session we will explore every component that makes your relationship work. You can learn to thrive together again. Or may be you are seeking couple therapy to consciously uncouple, and you understand that it is a process. I can assist with that as well. Remember that your couple is a system. One minute change can create an unexpected upheaval in a complex system. Systems do have a tendency to naturally re-establish a new equilibrium. In your couple therapy, you can decide what that new equilibrium looks like. Couples have chosen to stay together and work out their relationships after sexual indiscretions, or longer-term affairs. They have also learned to thrive together again. Everyone has their reasons to stay together. My experience with couples has mostly been in a private practice setting. I look forward to developing a private, confidential, trusting and collaborative relationship with you and help you achieve your couple goals.

I have 16 years of post-graduate professional clinical social work experience. I have been licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Florida for over 7 years. I am also licensed in the state of Texas. I am passionate about providing support to not only my clients but to fellow social workers, which is why I am also certified in providing supervision to social workers who wish to obtain a license.

I have experience in helping adolescent and adult clients with various issues including but not limited to life transitions, coping with addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, and anger management.

There are so many ideas that you’ve probably lived with growing up that don’t work for you anymore. Ways of doing things that make it hard to get things done, live in "survival mode", prioritize other people, or live the same day everyday. You've been expected to just move on from some hard times or hard losses. Or maybe you’ve always been "the “Perfect One”, the “Black Sheep” or the “Silent One” in your family. The struggles & labels that you've lived with may make it hard to truly know who YOU are... But I promise you, you don't have to live life with negative thoughts, numbness, or expectation. You deserve peace and mindfulness. I’m a licensed counselor in Florida. I’m also an INFJ Afro Caribbean cis woman who had to break real & generational trauma - to be an empathic mother and to find my own authentic identity. I love to lend perspective and support to BIPoC, neurodiverse or ENM humans who feel stuck in old patterns or who have been told that counseling is only "para los locos". You should speak to a counselor who recognizes that your blood is rich with ancestry, heritage, triumphs and history. Also one that knows that you are more than just a role (i.e., parent, sibling or partner). We only have ONE life and so you deserve to make it an authentic one. Let's talk about how to live mindfully, no matter what you have survived.

Hi there, I'm Sharon, and I'm passionate about helping individuals rediscover their inner child and embark on a journey of healing the wounds from their past. As a compassionate and creative soul, I offer a unique approach to processing and addressing emotions. Through my work, I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your feelings, particularly those affected by addiction and co-dependency. I firmly believe that art, not in the traditional sense but as a personal expression of one's emotions, holds the key to authenticity and self-discovery. My focus is on the process rather than performance, making it a soulful and liberating experience I call "soul art." As part of my commitment to excellence, I am currently pursuing my certification in Creative Journaling Expressive Arts with the CJEAItm. This additional training allows me to integrate journaling and expressive art techniques into our sessions, offering you a dynamic and creative approach to healing and personal growth. If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey, exploring your emotions through the creative lens, I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to nurture your inner child and empower you to lead a more fulfilling life.

As your therapist, I will help you manage anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together we can figure out the skills and tools needed to address these challenges.

I have a broad range of training and experience in different counseling approaches, including the American Psychiatric Association and World Health Organization-approved treatment modalities like EMDR (for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders), CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic Approaches, and other traditional treatment modalities for mood disorders and addiction. My counseling practice embraces changes, focusing on a more fulfilling life and coping with one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work with clients individually to understand their issues and apply evidence-based treatment methods to meet their needs. My therapeutic approach in couples/family therapy focuses on increasing understanding and empathy, helping the couples validate one another, and strengthening their communication. I have experience working with individuals struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, Addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anger and Grief. I utilize a positive, collaborative, and person-centered approach to assist clients in meeting their goals and developing skills to reach their fullest potential. I look forward to working with you.

Hey there, my name is Shana and I use she/her pro nouns. Are you feeling overwhelmed, a bit lost, or even detached? Have you felt kind of alone, or unable to identify how to motivate yourself to get to the next step? I work with all who are receptive to learn their capacity, and function within it to create the change necessary to grow and reach that next step. We can work together to identify needs, and create plans to obtain them. We'll not only use a whole self approach, but evidence based practice(s) as well. This may include CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and/or DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). No matter what you're struggling with, be it addiction, anxiety or depression, I'm here to help you. The scariest thing is getting started; it is also what takes the most strength. You deserve this opportunity to work on you, and get all that you need to be the best version of yourself! I will meet you were you are, and help you through every step of the way! Lets get started on your next chapter!

Hello, I'm Amber, a dedicated and compassionate trauma-informed therapist committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for individuals on their healing journey. With a background in psychology and extensive training, I bring a holistic approach that integrates psychodynamic, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to support clients in their path to recovery. In my practice, I prioritize creating a therapeutic environment built on trust, safety, and collaboration. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize the profound impact of trauma on individuals and approach therapy with sensitivity and understanding. I work diligently to establish a secure and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. My psychodynamic orientation allows me to help clients delve into the unconscious aspects of their psyche, understanding how past experiences shape current thoughts and behaviors. Through this exploration, we work together to identify patterns, gain insight into unresolved conflicts, and promote long-term personal growth. In addition to the psychodynamic approach, I integrate person-centered therapy principles, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the inherent goodness and resilience of individuals and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate their unique healing process. Furthermore, my practice incorporates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach allows us to develop practical strategies for coping with the impact of trauma, fostering resilience and promoting positive change. With a commitment to ongoing professional development and staying informed about the latest advancements in trauma treatment, I am dedicated to providing evidence-based and client-centered care. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing, personal empowerment, and a more fulfilling life.
